I find it quite interesting that pg's article is so extensively uncurious and disdainful. He openly sneers at the topic he intends to explain, and tirelessly lays into a straw man (the FoxNews definition of woke) rather than the strongest interpretation (what you're doing here). Several commenters here have asked why his article has been flagged, and I must say that if it was posted as a comment, it should certainly be flagged because of its flagrant violations of the site guidelines.

I certainly wouldn't be inclined to call him a prig, but he's certainly set himself up for exactly that denunciation with his specific framing of the conversation.

He says 'And that's the real problem — the performativeness, not the social justice.'. What's wrong with sneering at performativeness?

That's the strawman he chose to flog. Indeed, why not hold in contempt people I have defined as contemptible? It's circular reasoning, at best.
